The Y’s primary goal of before- and after-school child care is to provide a quality, safe place for children to go so that parents have the freedom to work or study, knowing that their children’s needs are being addressed. Children have talents and skills to develop, energy to use and huge reservoirs of creativity to explore. Our flexible schedule allows each child to freely choose what he or she wants to do during this out-of-school time. School-Age Child Care can be located on-site at the YMCA, or at your child’s school.
